For real tho. My company sucks. I like the work. It's fun working with ppl who are absolutely crazy cuz you never know what you're gunna get day to day. But. Were supposed to have 8 staff. We have 3 counting myself. Then they pull us into a meeting and I'm expecting them to be like “thanks so much for your hard work I know we're way understaffed yada yada “. But no. They say we're doing a bad job and the kitchen looks like shit. Well yeah. We have a third of the employees were supposed to have for the last year and a half. They said there gunna start punishing us if we can't get the extra work done. Excuse me but I work six days a week ten hour shifts. 60 hours a week to make ends meet for the company. Fuck you. Then they pulled me…

Hey everyone! This is my first post on reddit so forgive me if I make any errors. Also, I apologize, it's quite a long one. I'll include a TL;DR at the end. I've worked at the same hospital for the past three years. I started in August of 2018 in their food service department, working my way to now being a scheduler for radiology. I started my scheduling job in December of last year under the promise of working from home when finished with my training. I was told this would take about 6 weeks, also giving time to get my computer put together from the IT department. No problem, I figured it wouldn't take me 6 weeks to be fully trained but I wasn't about to argue. I started the week before Christmas, so that week and the week after was just doing some basics with learning their system,…

Started a new job as a clerk in a freight company not too long ago. Quit my job as a toddler teacher because I couldn’t even pay the bills on what little I made. Less than 15k a year. No benefits. Anyway, Ive never worked in this type of job before. I felt like I was doing really good. I cleared out my dock. Found lost shipments and sent them to the customer. I’m billing things appropriately, etc. Boss smiles to my face, all chatty and in a good mood then later sends an email stating I’m not doing good enough. I’m just so disheartened. I was so proud of everything I’ve accomplished and this email is a slap to the face. How does anyone deal with feeling so unappreciated?

Important info- I work at a cafe. I have adhd and autism so I learn slower than others, I have health issues and this is only my second job, I’ve not even been working a full year. I love the part of my job when I’m prepping food and organizing stuff. I will happily wash dishes, run food, bus tables, clean etc etc. I love my coworkers and the pay is really good (for a person my age, with no high school diploma, and basically no experience) I’ve been out of work since feb 19 with an injury and I’m staying out til the 12th ish because I need to go to a cardiologist appointment. I really want to quit, I’m yelled at all the time, I spend my entire 6+ hour shift in panic attacks, I’m not trained properly but am expected to work and function like I was,…

Manager said the market value of my position has raised since 2017. So people joining in 2022 will be paid the new (higher) rate. While employees who have been in the company and are being paid less will slowly be raised upward to meet the current market value. According to management, all the veterans can't be bumped up at the same time cuz that would cost too much money. Blah blah blah budget bullshit let's save money on all the dumb veterans who choose to stay. Here's the thing, I've been with the company for 5 years and have trained several employees who made way more than me (only discovered this recently, hence this post). Why would I wait around to be bumped up with these shit raises when I could just quit, apply for one of the many open positions at this same place, and get the new market…
